I need a 1hp+ electric motor, preferably 1750 RPM, preferably CCW rotation or reversible, with speed control.  How do I go about this?  Could you look at http://www.surpluscenter.com/electric.asp and tell me what I need to do this?  Maybe I can't get everything I need there.

I have 115v 1ph available.  I can wire for 220v 1ph.  Do I need a 3ph motor and an inverter?  Or a frequency drive?

Johnstone Supply will have any motor you need. Call them.

Easiest way would be a 3ph motor with a vfd.

Automationdirect.com get the gs1 speed control as it can be run off 1ph 110v.

Not sure where to get the motor off hand (maybe grainger)

What are you planning on doing with it?

Thanks, that's perfect.  They have a 220 1ph in, 1HP 3ph out for $130.  I'll get one of the 3ph motors from my link in the OP.
